The Chicago Tribune talks about the double whammy victims of domestic violence in Joplin had to endure.

An article which appeared on December 15th on www.wbaltv.com talks about how a dad took his two children from their mom and drove them and himself off a bridge – the ultimate form of domestic violence, killing his children and leaving his wife to live with the consequences (http://www.wbaltv.com/r/29998288/detail.html).
